Kentek NEMA 5-15 Y Splitter Power Cord vs Maximm Cable 2-in-1 Outlet Power Splitter

Both are 16 AWG three-prong Y-splitters that turn one NEMA 5-15 outlet into two. The Kentek is the longer, higher-rated cable at 13 A and 250 V, with UL and CSA listing, so it suits UPS, PDU and rack use where the run is longer and the load heavier. The Maximm 2-in-1 is shorter, rated 10 A at 125 V, and adds a locking female end and an LED power indicator, which suits desk setups and appliances you plug and unplug. Owners rate the Kentek well but the sample is small, so judge it on its ratings and listing rather than reviews.

• Choose the Kentek if you need a longer run and a higher amperage and voltage rating for a UPS, PDU or power strip.
• Choose the Maximm 2-in-1 if you want a short splitter with locking outlets and a power indicator light for desk or appliance use.
